                                    Angels that hover above
                                    Eyes that can change from blind to blue
                                    
                                    It's impossible

                                    I'd throw it away long before
                                    I'd share a piece of mine with you.
                                    
                                    It's impossible

4: My Poor Brain
                                    
                                    Real life is so hard
                                    We hide in the stars
                                    That's where our heads are
                                    My head and your heart
                                    
                                    This is a black out
                                    Don't let it go to waste 
                                    This is a black out
                                    I want to detonate
                                    
                                    When you are so far 
                                    I'm falling apart 
                                    Lose all my sonar 
                                    You jam my radar
                                    
                                    This is a black out
                                    Don't let it go to waste 
                                    This is a black out
                                    I want to detonate
                                    
                                    Sometimes I feel I'm getting stuck 
                                    Between the handshake and the fuck
                                    
                                    You've got me on guard 
                                    I've got my head start 
                                    My head and your heart
                                    The same in the stars
                                    
                                    This is a black out
                                    Don't let it go to waste 
                                    This is a black out
                                    I want to detonate
                                    
                                    Sometimes I wish that I could change 
                                    I can't save you from my poor brain

5: Wind Up
                                    
                                    I have a choise between the bat or the belt
                                    Each time I hear about the hand you've been dealt
                                    Spare me confession it's confession you sell
                                    Maybe I'll fall behind but I don't mind because I'll catch up
                                    
                                    I want a song that's indelible 
                                    Like manimal
                                    I hope you never see me wind up
                                    
                                    Will I be happy on the back of the shelf
                                    Will you be happy when we're sharing a cell 
                                    Spare me your questions since you know me so well
                                    Someday you'll realize that I get shy and I choke up
                                    
                                    I want a song that's indelible 
                                    Like manimal
                                    I hope you never see me wind up
                                    What is wrong with this animal
                                    I'm terrible 
                                    I hope you never see me wind up
                                    
                                    Farewell my sweet paramania
                                    Farewell my sweet paramania 
                                    
                                    My only promise is that I'll never tell
                                    Keep you at a distance from the things that I felt
                                    I'll bite the bullet take the beating until
                                    I take it all back anyway what was I supposed to say?
                                    
                                    I want a song that's indelible 
                                    Like manimal
                                    I hope you never see me wind up
                                    What is wrong with this animal
                                    I'm terrible 
                                    I hope you never see me wind up

                                    Always coming back I cannot forget you girl
                                    Now I am up in arms again
                                    
                                    
7: My Hero
                                    
                                    Too alarming now to talk about
                                    Take your pictures down and shake it out
                                    Truth or consequence, say it aloud
                                    Use that evidence, race it around
                                    
                                    There goes my hero
                                    Watch him as he goes
                                    There goes my hero
                                    He's ordinary
                                    
                                    Don't the best of them bleed it out
                                    While the rest of them peter out
                                    Truth or consequence, say it aloud
                                    Use that evidence, race it around
                                    
                                    There goes my hero
                                    Watch him as he goes
                                    There goes my hero
                                    He's ordinary
                                    
                                    Kudos my hero leaving all the best
                                    You know my hero, the one that's on
                                    
                                    There goes my hero
                                    Watch him as he goes
                                    There goes my hero
                                    He's ordinary

9: Enough Space
                                    
                                    I was waiting for something
                                    Maybe flying machines
                                    That's when I found Lily
                                    The best I've ever seen
                                    
                                    Put her on the ceiling
                                    Try to make her my own
                                    People line up to see
                                    But there never seems to be enough space

11: Everlong
                                    
                                    Hello, I've waited here for you, everlong 
                                    Tonight, I throw myself into and out of the red, out of her head she sang 
                                    
                                    Come down and waste away with me, down with me 
                                    Slow how, you wanted it to be, I'm over my head, out of her head she sang 
                                    And I wonder when I sing along with you if everything could ever feel this real forever 
                                    If anything could ever be this good again 
                                    
                                    The only thing I'll ever ask of you 
                                    You've got to promise not to stop when I say when she sang 
                                    
                                    Breathe out, so I can breathe you in, hold you in 
                                    And now, I know you've always been out of your head, out of my head I sang 
                                    And I wonder when I sing along with you if everything could ever feel this real forever 
                                    If anything could ever be this good again 
                                    
                                    The only thing I'll ever ask of you 
                                    You've got to promise not to stop when I say when she sang 
                                    
                                    And I wonder if everything could ever feel this real forever 
                                    If anything could ever be this good again 
                                    The only thing I'll ever ask of you 
                                    You've got to promise not to stop when I say when 
                                    
                                    
12: Walking After You
                                    
                                    Tonight I'm tangled in my blanket of clouds 
                                    Dreaming aloud 
                                    Things just won't do without you, matter of fact 
                                    I'm on your back, I'm on your back, I'm on your back 
                                    
                                    If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you 
                                    If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you 
                                    
                                    If you'd accept surrender, I'll give up some more 
                                    Weren't you adored 
                                    I cannot be without you, matter of fact 
                                    I'm on your back, I'm on your back, I'm on your back 
                                    
                                    If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you 
                                    If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you 
                                    
                                    Another heart is cracked in two, I'm on your back 
                                    
                                    I cannot be without you, matter of fact 
                                    I'm on your back, I'm on your back, I'm on your back 
                                    
                                    If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you 
                                    If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you 
                                    If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you 
                                    
                                    Another heart is cracked in two, I'm on your back 
                                    
                                    
13: New Way Home
                                    
                                    Have you found your way around the down and out? 
                                    I know it must seem long, so long 
                                    
                                    I'm still trying to keep this time from running out 
                                    Head down, always moving on and on and on 
                                    
                                    I never heard this warning, another early morning 
                                    Takes me, wakes me into 
                                    
                                    If you could manage me, I'll try to manage you 
                                    But lately it's all I ever do 
                                    
                                    I felt like this on my way home, I'm not scared 
                                    I pass the boats and the Kingdome, I'm not scared 
                                    
                                    I'll never tell you the secrets I'm holding 
                                    I know these things must bore you but I can't find another way 
                                    I'll never tell you the secrets I'm holding 
                                    I love this leash that holds me, when I try to run away 
                                    
                                    I'm not scared, I felt like this on my way home 
                                    I'm not scared, I pass the boats and the Kingdome 
                                    I'm not scared, I felt like this on my way home 
                                    I'm not scared, I pass the boats and the Kingdome 
                                    I'm not scared, I felt like this on my way home 
                                    I'm not scared, I pass the boats and the Kingdome 
                                    I'm not scared, I felt like this on my way home 
                                    I'm not scared, I pass the boats and the Kingdome 
                                    I'm not scared, I'm not scared, I'm not scared
